FLORIDA STATE PREVIEW

Clemson (4-4, 2-3) at Florida State (6-2, 3-2), 3:30 EST, ABC HD, WCCPFM Live Feed, XM 192, Sirius 211.

Line: Clemson +6.5 +4

Edge goes to:

Clemson offense vs. FSU defense: Florida State – Our line being the main reason for this decision.  We could sit here and give you a ton of reasons, but it’s pretty obvious.

Clemson defense vs. FSU offense: Clemson – Teams have had success holding them when possible and our defense, though they are still blowing some plays, are trying their best and they go down swinging.  They’re due.

Special teams: Push -  Meh. Maybe Clemson if that CJ Spiller run last week wasn’t a fluke but a start to a good patch of returns for the rest of this year.

Intangibles: Florida State – They need this game to get back on track after the way they lost last week.  They also need this game to stay in the hunt for the ACCCG.

Our panel of Super Mutant Behemoths say:

Chili: WILLY KORN goes into the game in the 4th quarter and throws the football to Aaron Kelly, only the football is being held by CJ Spiller at the time. Oh, and CJ just got the invincibility star so that wacky music is playing and he’s flashing through the majority of the technicolor spectrum. Players attempt to tackle him but are popped off the screen. He summersaults into the air and into Kelly’s arms and they score a touchdown. Bobby Bowden somehow maintains bowel control while watching this – a supposition that is surely the least plausible of this entire prediction.
Puddin’ shits, awwwwright.

Clemson 33, FSU 28 (not really, I think we lose by at least a TD)

Willy Mac: I know we have the players to match up athletically and physically to Florida State, I just don’t think we have the right formula to beat them this year. If you’ll take a look at my previous predictions this season, I’ve been pretty close on the past few (not tooting my own horn)(No, Willy, that’s EXACTLY tooting your own horn – Chili).  This one is a tough one to predict.  I know that they have a spectacular defense and that they can play good in primetime games again.  I know they have the ability to come back and will if given the chance to do so.  I also think a hand of fate stepped in last week and gave us a push over Boston College.  I don’t think that same hand of fate will be there to help us out this week.

Florida State 20, Clemson 14

    whats with the casino games ad?
    did y’all sell ad space or somethin?

  2. 2ChiliNo Gravatar on Nov 6, 2008 at 11:01 pm:

    ding ding ding we have a winner

  3. 3Penthouse TigerNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 12:44 am:

    congrats, anything to put you in the black i guess

  4. 4TullyNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 8:43 am:

    I will forgive the casino ad, if only bc of the Invincibility Star Spiller reference and Poppa Bowden’s BMs being mentioned.

  5. 5ChiliNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 8:48 am:

    I don’t give two fucks if you forgive it or not, we gots to get paid.
    No, but seriously, we know they may be a bit invasive and appreciate your tolerance.

  6. 6JamesPNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 9:07 am:

    Like all the other comments on this post, this is off topic of the FSU game, does anyone have a video or link to video of the hit on Megwa? I keep reading everywhere how hard it was. Also except for the guy getting hurt I like hearing about hard hitting football like that from Clemson.

  7. 7ChiliNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 9:10 am:

    I saw it, can’t find it online, but it doesn’t look that bad from the angle they show you really. I think there’s another angle where you can see his leg moving in two different directions. If I find it I’ll link it.

  10. 10manseNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 10:15 am:

    Certainly willing to tolerate a little invasion, but just so we don’t have to get to the point where it’s “The Monostat 7 Line Goes To,” is there anything we can do to up ad revenue? Will clicking on the ads on the right side of the page help?

    And now, getting back to game-related issues, i’d like to forward a Tardnet-worthy question I got from a classmate a few minutes ago:

    “What do you think the chances are that Tommy Bowden will show up on FSU’s sideline tomorrow?”

  11. 11JamesPNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 10:30 am:

    Thanks Chili for the vid. Looked like a nice leg tackle. Hope Megwa can play again…As far as TB showing up on the sidelines I would say no. He is proabably watching football on tv somewhere. Getting the armchair QB/HC point of view

  12. 12TullyNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 10:34 am:

    I honestly don’t mind the ad I just thought I needed to give a little shit. I don’t even see how that dude got hurt…Maybe its just the shit quality of Google Video. It looked like a clean hit to the pelvic region. I guess Magwa or whatever his tribal name is got butt hurt by DeAndre.

  14. 14ChiliNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 11:28 am:

    manse, nah the ads are paid based on time displayed, not clicks, we’re looking to switch to less invasive text link ads once these run their course, something that will automatically be generated to be relevant to content, and will be a pay-per-click thing. Our goal is not to have giant annoying blinking ad banners and pop ups, but to provide ads our readers might be interested in. But we do have server and hosting fees (and Macallan Cup fees) that come out of pocket and we have to recoup that somehow.

  15. 15manseNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 11:50 am:

    Speck backfire, the admin at our site (solid boom!) set up a pay-per-click ad scheme. I’m not sure what it’s paying, but i’m sure he’d be happy to tell you how well it does (or doesn’t) work.

  16. 16ChiliNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 11:52 am:

    Thanks, but we’re pretty familiar with the options out there.

  17. 17Willy MacNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 11:52 am:

    Fuck that. I’m in it to burn all of you. LOL *WINK* JUS KEEDING.

    But seriously, Tommy Bowden won’t be there. Check the Wednesday news post: http://www.block-c.com/2008/11/05/wednesday-news-brief/

    @17,

    Sorry, I neglected to mention that what made the question so douche-tastic was that this guy knew about that story, and apparently thinks there’s some sort of trickery afoot, as though that story was published to lull Clemson into a false sense of security and then, come Saturday, “BOOM THERE’S TAMMY STANDING NEXT TO DIDDY GIVING AWAY UR SECRETS LOL ZOMG!!!11!1!!”

    By the way, love the new gravatar.

  19. 19Willy MacNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 12:03 pm:

    Maaan… What gravatar??? I ain’t seeeeen SHIT!

    Eventually we might get another comment about the FSU game.

  21. 21NoleCCNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 2:35 pm:

    3 Suspensions for FSU.. Bert Reed again.. because he was “really, really sorry” about the first one. Riiiiiiiiight.

  22. 22CUin1993No Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 2:36 pm:

    So when you go to the pay per click thing, you (Block-C) get paid for every click? If so let us know, Ima be one clickin’ motherfucker.

  23. 23ClemNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 4:07 pm:

    If only FSU still had Chris “I’m Jesus” Rix playing for them……you could smell fear a mile away when he saw the Clemson D a comin.

    @23,

    Those were the most miserable years of my brother’s (FSU ’96) life, and some of my favorite.

  25. 25edboNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 4:47 pm:

    It was the Lyme disease. I think I remember hearing that he had swelling of the brain.

  26. 26TullyNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 4:48 pm:

    I have a close friend with not one but two doctors for parents. When asked about Lyme Disease they said that hallucinations like that are unheard of. It was clearly a leftover effect from Bonarroo. FSU has gotten so good at covering up the shenanigans (yeah, I went there) of its players that it actually succeeded in playing the Lyme Disease card.

    Speaking of shenanigans by FSU players: does anyone else find it interesting that Laverneus Coles (who was dismissed by FSU) has had a very solid NFL career while the other party involved in Dillardgate, Peter Warrick (who was NOT dismissed by FSU), has had an extremely disappointing career? Did the football gods feel that his dismissal was unfair? Did they compensate by sending Warrick to the Bungals?

  27. 27manseNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 4:52 pm:

    Interesting. And for the record, I changed my comment in a rare moment of sensitivity. Sorry. I’ll go back to being a callous bastard now.

  28. 28edboNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 4:56 pm:

    Damn it. I believed that shit. Didn’t they say he had NO drugs in his system?

  29. 29ChiliNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 5:03 pm:

    “Didn’t they say he had NO drugs in his system?”

    “They” lie.

  30. 30Penthouse TigerNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 5:30 pm:

    One of my favorite games that I have ever been to (even though we lost) was the one right after Warrick got off his suspension from Dillardsgate. Chanting “Dilllllards” every time he touched the ball was pretty damn fun

  31. 31Penthouse TigerNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 6:59 pm:

    I’m a little more worried about tomorrow now, i just heard that Bobby’s birthday is tomorrow. How much damn motivation does a team need?

  32. 32ClemNo Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 9:02 pm:

    As my wife shares that birthday here’s an interesting fact. The first time we beat Bobby in the Bowden bowl was on his birthday. I think that there may be more motivation in the fact that he might call a hit on Clemson for “shamin the family name”

  33. 33DwightClark87No Gravatar on Nov 7, 2008 at 10:59 pm:

    Awesome clip of that McDaniel hit!

    Clemson could win this one, but it will all be special teams miracles if they do.

    I don’t think Clemson vs. FSU will ever be played with no Bowdens involved. Bobby will probably turn over the reigns to another member of his family and that Bowden will retire and another Bowden will take over and so on until Zoltar Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Bowden is named HC in 2076. I expect Brawndo to be involved by then, also.

  34. 34Willy MacNo Gravatar on Nov 8, 2008 at 1:13 am:

    Unless Jimbo fisher marries into the Bowden family, your theory is shit, DC87. Also, unless “Not Sure” marries into the family somewhere down the road, the Zoltar prediction is out the window as well. Remember, reading isn’t just for fags.

  35. 35DwightClark87No Gravatar on Nov 8, 2008 at 5:21 pm:

    Reading isn’t just for fags, WM, and neither is being slightly original. Take that cigar out of your keister and pay attention, son.
